Frequently Asked Questions - Traveller 1526 TARGA

How to clean the TFT screen of my Targa Traveller 1526?

Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Do not apply liquid directly to the screen. Specific TFT screen cleaning kits are recommended.

Why does my hard drive show a capacity lower than the specifications (e.g., 232 GB instead of 250 GB)?

This is due to the difference in calculation: manufacturers use decimal (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) while the computer system uses binary (1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). The actual displayed capacity is therefore slightly lower.

How to customize the shortcut keys (Email, Internet)?

Open Control Panel, then Internet Options (Programs tab) to choose the default email client. For the browser, go to Start > All Programs > Default Programs and select your default browser.

What to do if the computer does not start?

Insert the supplied EasyInstall CD/DVD and restart. Choose the appropriate recovery option: first 'Restore boot files only', then 'Restore system files', and finally 'Restore all files (preserves users)' if necessary. As a last resort, use 'Complete restore' (erases everything).

How to access the BIOS of my laptop?

Restart the computer and press the Del (or DEL) key as soon as the logo appears. You can then navigate the menus to configure boot, passwords, etc.

Can I use a non-Targa replacement battery?

It is strongly recommended to use an identical or equivalent battery approved by Targa to avoid any risk of explosion or fire. Check the specifications (Li-ion 10.8V 7200mAh).

How to set up TV reception on Windows Media Center?

Connect the DVB-T antenna to the TV connector, then launch Windows Media Center. Go to Tasks > Settings > TV > Configure TV tuner and signal. Follow the wizard for automatic channel search.

What is the procedure to change the BIOS password?

Access the BIOS (Del key at startup), go to the Security menu. Select 'Change Supervisor Password' or 'Change User Password'. Enter the new password (6 characters max) and confirm. Save before exiting.

My laptop gets very hot, is this normal?

Some heat is normal, especially when charging. Ensure the ventilation openings (under the device) are not blocked. If the temperature becomes excessive, turn off the device and check that the fan is working. Contact support if the problem persists.

How to reset the operating system to factory settings?

Use the EasyInstall CD/DVD. Insert it, restart, and choose 'Complete restore (all files will be deleted)'. Caution: this erases all data. Backup your important files beforehand.

2. Please follow your local laws and regulations to recycle the used battery pack.

Using the Battery Pack

Battery Safety Tips

Replacing or handling the battery incorrectly may present a risk of fire or explosion, which could cause serious injury.

• Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of battery.
• Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to temperatures above +60°C (+140°F).
• Do not temper with batteries. Keep them away from children.
• Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or for proper disposal in your area.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.

Follow these tips to help optimizing battery life and avoid a sudden power loss.

• Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the Suspend Timer's time period.
• Turn off the system if you won't be using it for a period of time.
• Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve power.
• Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.

Charging the Battery Pack Properly

Your notebook computer features a powerful, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. Normally, a fully charged battery delivers approx. 2 to 3 hours of battery operation for your notebook. It is very important that you enable the Power Management features under Windows Vista for careful management of power consumption. The endurance will vary depending on the different notebook configurations as well as work habits. A very bright display, lots of hard disk access using the DVD drive as well as an extensive use of the WLAN adapter will increase power consumption and therefore reduce battery endurance.

1. To charge the battery, connect the power adapter to the notebook and to a wall outlet. During the charging process, the battery indicator (LED) located next to the status indicators (LEDs) will light up. If the notebook is turned off, an empty battery will take approx. 3 hours to become fully charged. The charging time will be longer if the notebook is turned on and being used. It is normal that the battery becomes warm during the charging process.

2. The battery will develop its full capacity after completing 20 charging and discharging cycles without performing any quick charging.

3. In order to maintain its full capacity, it is recommended that you fully discharge the battery from time to time. To do so, disconnect the power adapter and keep your notebook turned on until it automatically toggles to the Standby mode. Then reconnect the power adapter in order to recharge the battery.

4. As a rule the battery capacity will reduce to approx. 85% after performing 500 charging cycles.

5. Never leave the battery unused for a long period of time. All batteries are subject to self-discharge. Storing the battery for a long time may cause a low discharge status that could damage the battery. Make sure that you charge the battery from time to time (approx. every 4 weeks).

6. While charging, never exposure the battery to high temperatures (higher than 45^ C or 113^ F ).

Basic Operations

If you are a beginner to the Notebook, please read the following tips to make yourself safe and comfortable during the operations.

	Increase the built-in speaker's volume.
	Disable the computer's audio function.
	Force the computer into suspend mode (depending on the system configuration).

Knowing the Touchpad

The touchpad integrated in your Notebook is a pointing device that is compatible with standard mouse, allowing you to control the Notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and making selection with its two buttons.

Technical diagram of a device with numbered annotations pointing to specific components

1. Cursor Movement Area

This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to place your finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by moving your finger.

2. Left Button

Acts as the mouse's left button.

3. Right Button

Acts as the mouse's right button.

Using the Touchpad

Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:

■ Positioning and Moving

Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the touchpad.

■ Point and Click

When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure, called as point and click is the basics of operating your Notebook. Unlike the traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.

■ Drag and Drop

You can move files or objects in your Notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the

touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop operation.

Using the Touchpad

Why does My Computer Show a Smaller Hard Disk Size than the Advertised Size, e.g. 232GB Instead of the Advertised 250GB?

Solution: The reason is the different units used for calculating this value. All manufacturer documents use units referring to base 10 digits. Therefore, 250 GB correspond to 250 billion bytes (this is a 250 followed by 9 zeros). However, the computer calculates using units based on 1024. 1 GB is equal to 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes = 1 073 741 824 bytes. Thus, for the computer 1 GB is a little more than 1 billion bytes. The conversion of the (decimal) 250 GB is: (250 billion) divided by (1073741824) = approx. 232 GB in units of 1024 for the computer.

How can I determine the exact capacity of the hard disk?

Solution: Open the Control Panel, followed by the Administrative Tools folder. All system programs of this folder are displayed. Open Computer Management. Computer Management is a general program that includes an area with the name Storage. Click on the + symbol in front of this area and select the suboption Disk Management. On the right of the window, all the existing data media are displayed. Disk 0 represents the system hard disk. The list also displays the total size and the partitions on each medium, along with the size of each partition. Please note: currently there is more than one partition because of the Recovery and Driver partitions. These partitions total the following size of the hard disk.

Notebook

How Can I Enable/Disable the Autorun of CD-ROMs in Windows?

Solution: Click Start/Run and enter "regedit". Search for the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet \Services\Cdrom and then the entry Autorun. Double-click on the entry to edit the value: 1 = enabled 0 = disabled. After changing this value you must restart your computer.

The e-mail hotkey always launches Windows Mail, but I want to use a different mail program. Is this possible?

Solution: Yes. In Control Panel, select the Internet options and then select the Programs tab. Under E-Mail, select the program you want to launch by pressing the hotkey.

The Internet browser hotkey always launches Microsoft Internet Explorer, but I want to use a different browser. Is this possible?

Solution: Yes. Click on Start/All Programs/Program Access and Defaults. Select User-defined. Next, click the down arrow. Here you can select a different browser to become your default browser. As an alternative, during the installation of the browser there should be an option to select whether to use it as your default browser.

How do I clean my notebook TFT display?

Solution: To clean a TFT display you can use normal brand glass detergent. However, be careful that you don't apply too much detergent and that the liquid enters the display. Use a dry cotton cloth to dry the unit and avoid scratching the surface. It's best to use cleaning sets made especially for notebooks and TFT displays.

Pixel errors on LCDs (notebook computers + monitors)

Active Matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (XGA) rendered by three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), a total of almost 3,1 million control transistors are used. Due to this high amount of transistors and the corresponding complex manufacturing process, in some cases faulty or the wrong driving of pixels and/or sub-pixels can occur. In the past there have been different attempts to define the number of permitted pixel errors. Normally, these were very complicated and completely different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, for manufacturing and guarantee repairs, Targa follows the strict and transparent definition of the ISO 13406-2, Class II standard that will be summarized in the following. Among others, ISO Standard 13406-2 defines universal specifications regarding pixel errors. The pixel errors are categorized into four error classes and three error types. And each pixel is composed of three sub-pixels with one primary color (red, green, blue) each.

Notebook

Types of pixel errors

Type 1: pixel always lights (bright, white dot)

Type 2: pixel never lights (dark, black dot)

Type 3: abnormal or defective sub-pixel of the colors red, green or blue (lighting continuously, not lighting or blinking)

Classes of pixel errors

Pixel-Class	Typ 1	Typ 2	Typ 3
I	0	0	0
II	2	2	5
III	5	15	50
IV	50	150	500

Sub-Pixel Lines Pixel

The number of errors for the above mentioned types in each error class refers to one million pixels and must be converted according to the physical display resolution. For example, for Active Matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels (WXGA) rendered by three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), a total of almost 3,1 million control transistors are used. for example, consider a 15,4-inch WXGA display with 1280 horizontal and 800 vertical dots (pixels). This is 1,024,000 pixels in total. Referring this figure to 1 million pixels, a factor of approx.

Notebook

1.02 is obtained. Therefore, error class II permits two errors of type 1 or type 2 and five errors of type 3.

Error class 1 only applies for special applications (e.g. medical) and implies higher costs. Error class II has become a standard for quality-orientated manufacturers with very good displays.

Connect the TV card

Your Targa Notebook is supplied with a TV card, which enables you to receive digital TV stations by means of DVB-T. It is very easy to use, as the relevant software is to a large degree based on a conventional television. Most functions can therefore be used intuitively. You only have to complete a few steps to make this feature available to you.

Before you can enjoy watching television at your network you must of course provide an antenna or cable TV connection and set up the channels. This is no great problem as the software does most of the work for you. You will soon get the hang of it with the following step-by-step instructions.

The connections required to receiving television channels, the so-called coaxial sockets, are already provided on the notebook. Here you can connect an analog room antenna, an analog cable TV connection or an antenna for digital terrestrial television (DVB-T). If you want to connect a satellite receiver, that is not a problem either. You only have to lay a coaxial cable from the receiver to the notebook. Please note that this will only work if the TV image is also output at your receiver via the coaxial socket. This is not the case with more recent digital receivers.

Once you have connected the cable you can start adjusting the necessary TV settings. The next section on the initial configuration describes how to do this.

The Windows Media Centre - Initial Configuration

The Windows Media Centre is the central component for managing all multimedia content on your notebook. With this media centre, fully integrated in Windows Vista™, you can view videos and DVDs, listen to music from audio, CDs or hard disk files, view the TV guide, record TV programmes, and much more. The Media Centre replaces many individual programs and unites all media under a single user interface. The first time you open the Media Centre you must set it up, once only, to enable you to use it to its full extents. With this, e.g. your internet connection is checked and the available TV reception is set up. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes and is carried out with the help of a wizard.

Open the Media Centre with the Windows Media Centre icon in the Start menu. The first time you start the program the setup wizard automatically appears. If you have already opened the Media Centre beforehand or the configuration was previously cancelled you can also start the initial configuration manually. To do this, in the start screen of the Media Centre, select Tasks / Settings, switch to the General group and select the Windows Media Centre Setup option. You can now use the Execute Setup Again button to restart the initial configuration.

You are now welcomed by the Setup wizard. You can now carry out an express setup (Required Setup) or a user-defined setup (Optional

Notebook

Setup). The Required Setup is completed with the click of a mouse and is especially suitable if you want to watch video, DVDs and audio CDs immediately. TV and radio reception is not configured with this option. For a complete setup, select the Option Setup option. This procedure is described in the following. Press the OK button to open the first window. This only contains a few items of standard information; press Next to continue. The Media Centre then briefly displays the steps carried out during the configuration. You can also skip this window with the Next button.

You are now informed about the data protection guidelines (Privacy Policy). If you wish to read these, open them by clicking the Display the Data Protection Provisions Online button. Click Next to move to the next step. The Media Centre would like to regularly send information to Microsoft, so that the program can be improved in line with users' requirements. If you consent to this anonymous report, select the Yes, I would like to participate option. If you do not want reports to be sent to Microsoft, select the No, I do not want to participate option. Click Next to start the actual configuration.

The Media Centre can do more than simply play CDs and DVDs. It also enables you to call up additional information about each album or film. This could be, e.g. CD cover, background information to a film or the current TV guide. To do this, the Media Centre needs an internet connection. It does this by simply using your existing connection, e.g. by

Notebook

modem, DSL or router. You can use the Yes or No options to enable or disable this additional information.

General configuration of the Media Centre is not finished. The wizard briefly notifies you of this in a message box. Click the Next button to now set up the reception and display components.

Setting up TV reception

After the basic settings have been configured in the Windows Media Centre you can set up TV reception. The software searches for and saves all television stations available in your region

You can now set up TV reception. In the dialog box displayed, select the Configure Tuner, TV Signal and TV Guide Listings option and click the Next button. First you must choose the region for which you want to receive the TV guide listings. The default region selected is Germany. Confirm this with the Yes... option or select another region with No... .

The Media Centre now automatically establishes an internet connection and downloads the current setup options for your country. This can take a few minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. The Media Centre can regularly load the current TV guide listings from the internet. This makes it easier for you to obtain an overview, provides additional information and enables, e.g. more convenient programming of the integrated video recorder. Enable this function with Yes or switch

Notebook

it off with No. If you have enabled this function, you must then agree to the legal terms with the I agree option.

You must now enter your post code so that the Windows Media Centre can precisely determine your TV guide listings. Enter this in the relevant field and click the Next button to open the next dialog box. The Media Centre will now access the internet again and update the guide listings information. This only takes a minute and the software automatically forwards you to the next step.

The Windows Media Centre now lists the types of reception for your region. The selection list is entirely dependent on your location. Select your DVB-T signal. The Media Centre now searches for further information in the internet, the message then appears that the TV guide listings has been completely downloaded. Click Next to move to the next step.

One of the most important steps now follows. The Media Centre starts automatic station search. It searches, lists and saves all the TV channels you can receive. This may take a while, depending on the number of receivable channels. Press the Start Search button to initiate this process. The search can take a while. This is highly dependent on the reception used. After all, DVB-T can transmit around a dozen stations, a satellite more than one hundred. As soon as the Media Centre has finished its search it lists the stations it has found. TV

Notebook

reception is now completely set up. Click the Next button to finish this step and to return to the main screen of the initial configuration.

Optimising the screen display

After all stations have been found and saved, the software automatically switches you back to the configuration screen. Next, you should optimally configure your screen.

Select the item: Optimise how Window Media Centre looks on your display and click the Next button. You can use the Watch Video button to view a test view and check the current setting. Click Next to switch to configuration. The Windows Media Centre now automatically switches to full screen mode so that you can better assess the image.

The wizard now asks whether your preferred display is connected. Confirm with Yes and move to the next step. Select your monitor type. The default should be your notebook display. Use the Built-In Display option for this.

In the following step you must select the screen format. You can choose between 16:9 (widescreen) and 4:3 (standard) displays. Your notebook's display has 16:9 format. You must therefore select this option. The Media Centre usually retains the currently selected resolution. If you wish, you can select a different resolution for TV and film output. Click Yes to retain the current resolution and No to assign

Notebook

your own resolution for the Media Centre. Finally, you can now adjust the display controls. You can adjust the brightness, contrast or perform an RGB colour matching. The screen configuration is then finished and the software switches you back to the main configuration screen.

Setting up the loudspeakers

Finally, you can also set up your computer's loudspeakers. This is particularly important if you use more than two stereo loudspeakers, i.e. a surround system.

To do this, select the Set Up Your Speakers item in the main menu of the wizard. Click Next to move to the next step. The first dialog box contains some explanatory information only. In the second dialog box you must select how the loudspeakers are connected to your computer. For analog PC loudspeakers, select the Mini Jack Plugs option; for optical digital output select Toslink and for internal loudspeakers select the Integrated option. You must then enter the number of loudspeakers. You can choose between 2 speakers, 5.1 Surround speakers and 7.1 Surround speakers. If you have previously selected the integrated loudspeakers, you can of course only enter two loudspeakers. The other options are only possible if you have connected a surround system or a digital amplifier.

In the next step you must try out your loudspeakers with the Test button. If everything works ok, you can continue with the I heard sound from

Notebook

all of my speakers option. If the loudspeakers were silent or you did not hear a test signal from all of them, you must check the connections and repeat the test with I did not hear sound from all of my speakers. Click Next to move to the last dialog box. Here you can close loudspeaker setup with I am finished.

Setting up the media library

You can enable the internal library so that the Media Centre can manage all your video, music and picture files. To do this, select Set up your Music, Pictures, and Videos Libraries.

In the first step you must select what you want to do. Select the Add folder to watch option. Click Next to move to the next step.

You can now choose whether you want to add this folder to your computer or set to media folders on another computer, e.g. in a home network. For local media files, select the Add folders to this computer option.

Now select the folders on your computer. You can, e.g. select the media files in your own private user directory or also select the public media folders for all users of this computer. Of you wish, use the Local Drive (C:) option to select your own individual folder. Your selection is displayed again in the next window and the procedure is closed with the Finish button. Media Centre now searches for files on your computer.

Notebook

This can take a while. You are then automatically returned to the main screen of the wizard.

You have now completed all the steps for initial configuration of the Windows Media Centre. The program is now completely set up and can be used immediately. Use the I am finished button to confirm this again and then close the wizard with Next and Finish. You are automatically returned to the main screen of the Media Centre.

Watching TV on your notebook

Before you can use the TV program on your notebook you must use the Setup wizard to set up TV reception. The step-by-step instructions for this are given at the beginning of this chapter. Alternatively, you can also select Settings / TV from the Tasks group in the main menu of the Media Centre Here you will find Set Up TV Signal ad TV Guide Listings. Use these to set up the reception signal (cable TV, DVB-T, etc.) and start the stations search. The actions are the same as with the wizard, but only these individual steps are carried out. The Windows Media Centre also includes a complete television receiver with which you can receive and view the current TV guide listings. This is very easy to use, as the Media Centre has been adapted to appear like a conventional television. Most functions can therefore be used intuitively, so that you will soon get the hang of using them.

First, open Media Centre from the Windows Start menu. The program's

Notebook

Start screen automatically opens. Select the TV +Film group.

You are now switched to the group for TV reception. Various functions are available for you to choose. Use the Live TV button to switch directly to the current TV guide listings. The program automatically displays the channel last selected. Use Record to record and play TV programmes and movies. The TV Guide opens an electronic TV guide and you can use Search to search the channels for interesting TV programmes.

To watch the current TV show, select Live TV. Media Centre now activates TV reception and displays the channel you last watched. Use the control panel in the bottom right-hand side to control the television program. You can use the plus and minus (+ / -) keys of the channel switch to change channels. If you have found an interesting programme, you do not have to do anything. The control panel automatically disappears after a few seconds leaving you a clear view of the programme. You can also use the buttons in the top right-hand title bar to switch between full screen and television mode.

Media Centre has a so-called Time Shift function. It invisibly stores the current TV channel for a certain period in the background. This enables you to watch the program from any time you wish using the Forward and Rewind buttons in the control panel. E.g. you can rewind to watch an interesting report again or if you missed the start of a film.

Notebook

If you want to find out about the current TV program, use the green Media Centre icon in the top left-hand corner to return to the main menu of the TV area. Now select TV Guide. This opens an electronic TV guide, which displays all channels in a clear list. Use the arrow keys in the bottom right-hand corner to move in the list. Use the up and down arrows to move through the channel list. Use the right and left arrow keys at the top to move through the times. If you want to watch one of the programs displayed, simply double-click the name. This automatically switches you to the Live TV function and you can see the selected programme.
